Why You Should Choose Joe Web Site Design

How We're Different From Other Asheville Web Design Agencies

We're the best Asheville web design agency for small businesses. As a husband-and-wife team, we offer the expertise and personalized service that ensures clear communication and an understanding of your unique business needs. Our custom sites are:

  • Faster to load
  • More secure
  • Easier to manage
  • Fully Compliant with Google guidelines

We believe that simpler is better when it comes to small business websites. That's why we focus on building lightweight, PHP-based sites rather than relying on resource-heavy platforms like WordPress.

While WordPress can be a great tool for some, many small businesses don't need the complexity and commitment to ongoing maintenance that come with it. Our custom sites are designed to be more secure, reliable, and user-friendly.

Let's make your business shine! Contact us today to get started.

The Simpler Alternative to WordPress

Our Custom PHP Websites vs. WordPress

WordPress is a powerful platform -- but for many small business owners, it's a lot more complicated than they need. Routine updates, plugin conflicts, theme issues, and ongoing security maintenance can easily turn simple tasks into a frustration. That's why every Joe Web site is custom-built, file-based PHP and powered by our ultra-simple No Stress CMS. It may be the world's simplest and safest content management system -- created specifically for small businesses that want a reliable, low-maintenance website.

  • Built for Simplicity: No databases. No plugins. No theme conflicts. Our custom PHP sites load fast, use clean code, and are easy to optimize for SEO. Updating your headline, image, or body content takes just a couple of clicks. And if you don't like the change, you can instantly revert. That means zero stress and zero risk of "breaking" your site.
  • Stronger Security: Because WordPress powers more than 40% of the web and allows thousands of plugins, it's a frequent target for automated hacks. Most small businesses never need that level of expandability. Our file-based PHP websites contain only the code your site actually uses. This dramatically reduces attack surface and eliminates nearly all common WordPress-related vulnerabilities.*
  • Custom Features (But Only If You Need Them): PHP gives us full control to build exactly what your business needs: custom forms, animations, interactive elements, schema markup, or other enhancements. No bloat, no unnecessary modules, and no added security risk.

We also keep major site components in separate files (header, navigation, footer), so updates apply site-wide while keeping your editable content isolated and safe. With No Stress CMS, clients can confidently update their own pages without touching the core design or code.

Want a website that's faster, safer, and easier to manage than WordPress? Let's talk about your project.

*Example: We've written and will occasionally install a monitoring script -- designed to log and report hacking attempts. Without fail, the great majority are bots searching for WordPress vulnerabilities. Below is a live snapshot showing dozens of hacking attempts within just a few minutes:

Because our sites aren't built on the WordPress platform, these automated attacks hit a dead end -- returning nothing more than a simple error message.

Our Web Design Process

Here's What You Can Expect When Working with Us

We appreciate clients taking an active interest in the development of their site. Here is the standard timeline we try to follow:

  1. Discovery and Consultation (2-3 hours):

    • We'll kick things off with an in-depth consultation to understand your business, major competitors, target audience, and website goals. This phase includes gathering your ideas, discussing any existing branding, and identifying the core features and functionalities your site will need. Whether you're looking to generate more leads, showcase your services, or provide online booking, we'll make sure the plan is tailored to your unique needs.
  2. Design and Feedback (1-2 weeks):

    • Once we have a clear vision, we'll create a custom design mockup reflecting your brand's personality and strengths. You'll have a chance to review and provide feedback, ensuring that the final design aligns perfectly with your vision. Revisions are a natural part of this process, so we'll collaborate until the design is just right.
  3. Development and Testing (3–4 weeks):

    • After the design is finalized, we'll move into the development phase. We'll build your website using clean, efficient code and incorporate responsive design principles so that it looks great on any device. During this phase, we'll also ensure that the site is optimized for fast loading and search engines. We'll run comprehensive testing to make sure everything is functioning perfectly before launch.
  4. Launch and Final Adjustments (1 week):

    • Once you've reviewed and approved the final version of the site, we'll schedule the launch. During the launch phase, we'll handle everything -- from domain setup to ensuring a smooth transition from any existing sites. After the site is live, we'll complete any final adjustments and discuss tools for measuring the results.

Estimated Total Timeline: 5-7 weeks

Every project is unique, but we strive to keep the process efficient without sacrificing quality. We're also flexible to accommodate your specific timeline or scheduling needs, ensuring your project is completed on time and within your budget.
